his own protection, he’s better off inside. He will have
expected this decision.”

11. THE BROTHER: CARL SUTCLIFFE
“Growing up with Peter…he was a really nice guy. He being so much
older than me, he was more like a father figure as my dad was never
around. He was either working or out at the pub or doing sports events.
And Pete used to teach me things that a father should really, so he was a
great big brother.” Carl Sutcliffe

T H E R E L AT I O N S H I P S O F P E T E R

13. Sonia and their Marriage
The couple was known for having quite a “toxic” relationship I
the sense it was the classic story of them not being able to
live with or without each other.
“She would go out of her way to embarrass him in front of
his family by shouting at him for things he had said that
she didn’t agree with, this would often make his father
ashamed and embarrassed.”

did it was with Peter

18. Did She know? - YES
It is still not fully clear whether Sonia knew about the murders that her
husband was committing, although she was cleared and the police deemed
that she was innocent and was not aware of the murderers the fact that she
lived so closely with Peter suggests oterwise.

19. Did She know? - NO
Her schizophrenia was simply taken advantage of.
